Cheeky signing for Bromley

Bromley Football Club have announced the signing of striker Michael Cheek from Ebbsfleet United.

The 27 year old striker is a seasoned performer at National League level, having made his name at Heybridge Swifts, before moving on to Chelmsford City. After a successful one and a half season spell with the Clarets, which saw him score 35 goals in 66 appearances, he made the move to Braintree Town. Cheek remained with the Iron for two seasons, scoring 42 goals in 98 games.

His prolific spell earned him a move to fellow Essex outfit Dagenham & Redbridge, where he spent a single season, in which he scored twice in a 5-1 win over Bromley. In the Summer of 2018, Cheek signed for Ebbsfleet United and spent last season with Bromley’s Kent Rivals, scoring 16 goals.

Upon signing, Cheek commented; “It’s great to be here. It’s an ambitious Club and I can’t wait to get going.”

Manager Neil Smith was also pleased to get his man, having tracked Cheek for a while; “Michael is a proven goalscorer in this division and has established himself over several seasons. To get someone of his quality into our side for next season is massive for us as a Club, and it shows where we want to go.”
